Corporal Andrew Michaud figured he and at least two other police officers would die once they blasted open a bedroom door with a strip charge and rushed inside, knowing a suicidal hostage-taker with a gun was waiting for them on the other side, aiming to kill his girlfriend and them too.

Michaud is a 香蕉视频直播渂reacher,香蕉视频直播� in charge of getting fellow Emergency Response Team police into places with lockpickers, chainsaws and explosives in his arsenal. He testified Friday (April 19) during a coroner香蕉视频直播檚 inquest into the deaths of Randy Crosson, 48, and Nona McEwan, 45, both killed by police during the March 29, 2019 hostage-taking in the Whalley house she rented. Crosson used her as a human shield, the inquest heard.

香蕉视频直播淚 just pictured us going in and just getting shot and us just falling like dominoes,香蕉视频直播� he said, sharing the psychology of the situation.

Coroner Margaret Janzen is presiding over the inquest in Burnaby, at Coroners香蕉视频直播� Court. It香蕉视频直播檚 expected to run for two weeks, with a jury of four women and a man hearing testimony.

The ERT officers took their place outside the small bedroom, with the first in line gripping a shield.

香蕉视频直播淭here香蕉视频直播檚 three times in my career where I香蕉视频直播檝e gone through the door and expected to be killed, and this was one of them,香蕉视频直播� Michaud told the jury. 香蕉视频直播淭his is the second. The first time I was not in charge, I was one of the people going through, and it香蕉视频直播檚 a very weird feeling that as soon as this door opens I香蕉视频直播檓 going to get shot, and do I get killed? I don香蕉视频直播檛 know.香蕉视频直播�

Crosson had already pointed a gun at the armoured vehicle outside and declared: 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 a good day to die,香蕉视频直播� Michaud recalled. 香蕉视频直播淗e wants to kill police, gave me a one-hour timeline. He knew in one hour we were going to make that decision. But now, he decides to say 香蕉视频直播榊ou have five minutes.香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈��

香蕉视频直播淚 don香蕉视频直播檛 know what香蕉视频直播檚 on the other end of the door,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淚 don香蕉视频直播檛 know what we香蕉视频直播檙e going to face inside. What I do know is that we香蕉视频直播檙e going to go in 香蕉视频直播� we香蕉视频直播檙e going in under his terms 香蕉视频直播� he knows in five minutes or less we香蕉视频直播檙e going to come through that door and we香蕉视频直播檙e going to come at him, and he has a hostage in there.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淚 said, 香蕉视频直播榃ell, we香蕉视频直播檙e going to take rounds going through this door,香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈�� Michaud said. 香蕉视频直播淭he time is ticking.香蕉视频直播�

The officer with the shield took his position. 香蕉视频直播淚 said to him, 香蕉视频直播榊ou香蕉视频直播檙e number one.香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈��

After a lengthy pause, Michaud continued.

香蕉视频直播淢e saying that to him, that was my goodbye. You香蕉视频直播檙e going to get shot, you香蕉视频直播檙e going to get killed. But you香蕉视频直播檙e going to take rounds on that shield, you香蕉视频直播檙e going to push in, and we香蕉视频直播檙e going to get now five feet close.

香蕉视频直播淲hen you go down,香蕉视频直播� he said, remembering looking at the second officer, 香蕉视频直播測ou香蕉视频直播檙e number two. You香蕉视频直播檙e also going to die. I don香蕉视频直播檛 say it.香蕉视频直播�

After the first cop went down, he anticipated, the second would be 香蕉视频直播渢he fresh guy香蕉视频直播� pushing forward.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 expecting that he香蕉视频直播檚 ready for war,香蕉视频直播� he said of Crosson.

Michaud said in his mind after number two gets killed, there will be number three and number four and number five. 香蕉视频直播淢aybe even number three is going to take rounds, I don香蕉视频直播檛 know. But at least, up to that point, I know we香蕉视频直播檒l be able to respond.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淓verybody on that team was aware of exactly what needed to happen.香蕉视频直播�

The inquest continues.
